All materials should be submitted simultaneously to the School of Graduate Studies & Research, except for the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) Application Form and the Statement of Purpose for Graduate School which should be mailed directed to the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. Applicants to the MPA program must meet the following criteria:

4 4 Acceptance in the School of Graduate Studies & Research; Hold a Bachelor s degree from a regionally accredited college or university in Government, Political Science, or Public Administration.

5 5 Complete the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) Application Form which includes writing a Statement of Purpose for Graduate School. The MPA Application Form can be found in the MPA Admissions Guidelines and Application Form booklet. You may also obtain a copy from the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, 135, Woodson Hall, or by calling (318) Exhibit Intellectual Maturity and Initiative Graduate level work requires intellectual maturity and curiosity, emotional stability, initiative, and dependability. Students who are accepted into the MPA Program must have a desire to grow and develop as a student, scholar and practitioner in the field of Public Administration. Admission Status Admission into the MPA Program is very competitive and is determined by the MPA Admissions Committee after a careful review of the Application for Admission and supporting materials. Students who are accepted into the MPA Program will be admitted as a regular degree-seeking student, a provisional degree-seeking student, or a conditional degreeseeking student. Non-degree seeking students who have taken courses in the MPA Program may apply for admission through the admissions process outlined above. In cases where nondegree seeking students are admitted into the MPA Program, it should be noted that only twelve semester hours of non-degree graduate credit will be applied toward the MPA and only with the approval of the Advisor, the Director of the MPA Program and the Head of the Department of Political Science and Public Administration. The completion of MPA graduate courses as a nondegree seeking student does not guarantee admission into the MPA Program. The admission categories for MPA students are explained below: Regular Admission Meets all requirements for Admission into the Graduate School Holds a Bachelors Degree in Government, Political Science or Public Administration Has a 3.0 overall cumulative GPA Has submitted scores of the GRE/GMAT Has submitted three appropriate Recommendation Forms with attached Letters of Recommendation Has submitted MPA application Form along with Statement of Purpose for Graduate School Provisional Admission Meets all the requirements of Regular Admission except the submission of GRE/GMAT scores. Conditional Admission Registering for Courses Granted to students with GPA s between 2.9 and 2.5. Coursework is limited to six specific hours (PA 505 and PA 523). Granted to students who do not have a Bachelor s Degree in Government, Political Science or Public Administration. Coursework is limited to nine specific hours (PA 505, PA 523 and PA 500). Once a student has been admitted into the MPA Program, he or she must enroll in MPA courses during the semester of admittance. Students who enroll in other courses during the semester in which they gained admittance into the MPA Program will be dismissed from the

6 6 program. Likewise, students who enroll in other graduate level courses in any subsequent semester after admittance into the MPA Program and have not taken at least nine semester hours in Public Administration over a two semester period (excluding summer) will be dismissed from the program. The MPA Program views such cases as an official declination for pursuing graduate work for the MPA. Once dismissed, the student may re-apply via the regular admissions process. Under certain extenuating circumstances, an admitted student may defer enrollment by making a request for deferment in writing to the Department Head before the first day of class begins. The deferment may not extend beyond one semester. If after one deferred semester the admitted student fails to enroll in appropriate MPA courses, he or she will be dismissed from the Program. All students who are admitted into the MPA Program must submit a Proposed Plan of Study. The Proposed Plan of Study is completed in consultation with the Advisor. Students admitted on a Conditional Basis must enroll in the courses outlined in their Acceptance Letter. Failure to meet the conditions for enrollment during the initial semester of enrollment will result in disciplinary action that may include dismissal from the program. Approved Proposed Plans of Study must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies and Research before the end of the first semester. Statute of Limitations In accordance with the School of Graduate Studies and Research, students must complete the requirements for the master s degree within six years after admission to a degree program if they are full-time. Part-time students may take up to eight years. Courses taken six years prior to being admitted in a graduate program, whether at Grambling State University or at another university, cannot be accepted for credit toward a degree. Previously Enrolled MPA Students Students who were once admitted into the MPA Program and transferred out of the program to complete graduate work in another program must re-apply via the regular admissions process. Previous admission and completion of MPA course work does not guarantee readmission into the Program. All previously completed course work must fall within the requisite statute of limitations. Curriculum in the MPA Program A minimum of 45 credit hours is required for the MPA degree, including at least 12 credit hours in an Area of Concentration, 3 elective hours and the completion of an Administrative Internship. Although it is not a requirement, a student may choose to specialize in more than one concentration area. However, each specialization requires 12 hours or 4 threecredit courses in the specialization area. If a student opts for a dual concentration, both concentration areas must be clearly indicated on the Proposed Plan of Study and the student must take the Comprehensive Examination in both Areas of Concentration. Once a student decides to pursue a dual concentration (i.e., declared on the Plan of Study with appropriate approvals), he or she may opt out of the dual concentration only under these circumstances: (1) after completing and submitting a Request for Change on Plan of Study and (2) before sitting for any portion of

7 7 the Comprehensive Examination. A student may not sit for any portion of the Comprehensive Examination and then change the area of concentration or opt out of a dual concentration. For those student who choose dual concentrations, it is important to note that overlap courses will count only once for any one of the two concentration areas. Overlap courses are courses that fall under two or more Areas of Concentration. In addition to the course work, a student must pass a written Comprehensive Examination in the Core Area and in the chosen Area of Concentration. Eligibility requirements for the Comprehensive Exam are set forth in the Policies and Procedures for the Administration and Evaluation of the Comprehensive Examination guidelines. Students who wish to pursue doctoral level training or who wish to engage in independent, original research may also write a Master s Thesis. A student must have an overall 3.0 GPA. MPA students must have a B or above in all core and concentration courses.
